MARK STORAGE UNIT I had long been planning to make my own version of the Eames Storage Unit, and finally I got my chance. I used aluminum uprights that I carefully drilled. This was much harder than I thought to make, but it ended up turning out pretty good. Except the "Apple Core" plywood, the parts were all found at Ace Hardware Stores, including the Masonite panels, which are painted different colors (you can't really see them in the photos).
